because of the use of spoiler blocks, you're forcing everyone to use one fixed way of searching.

other example: I'm looking for monk builds. these can be defenders, controllers or strikers; martial or Ki; ...

For years, I've lived a double life. In the day, I do my job - I ride the bus, roll up my sleeves with the hoi-polloi. But at night, I live a life of exhilaration, of missed heartbeats and adrenalin. And, if the truth be known a life of dubious virtue. I won't deny it - I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it. I've maimed and killed adversaries, and not merely in self-defence. I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property, and savoured every moment. You may not think it, to look of me but I have commanded armies, and conquered worlds. And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside, I have no regrets. For though I've led a double life, at least I can say - I've lived.

Me: OK, am I the only who sees an analogy between forum trolls & Chihuahuas?

Shapeshifter is a Primal Controller

The reason I use the SBLOCKS is because is better organized that way. A lot of classes don't convey what they do by name, however roles and power sources are easy to understand. The Compilation thread in the Multiclassing section does not use SBLOCKS if you feel it fits your searching style easier

Yes, I am expressing my opinions (even complaints - le gasp!) about the current iteration of the play-test that we actually have in front of us.
No, I'm not going to wait for you to tell me when it's okay to start expressing my concerns (unless you are WotC).
(And no, my comments on this forum are not of the same tone or quality as my actual survey feedback.)

I think the Duelist project is finally at a point where it can be taken out of Works in Progress, thanks much.

IMHO, you could take out one of the three layers of nesting on that top page. Like, go New Classes - Controllers, and then put a tag behind linked content: "Summoner (arcane, ff6shadow), Time Mage (arcane, Eldiran), Lancer (martial, ff6shadow)..."

I started finded the files hosted on file sharing sites. After several requests that they be asked down (to the file sharing accounts as well as within my thread where the classes were posted) they were still up. So I elected to remove them entirely. Same old internet, where a few ***holes screw up something for everybody.
